I'm think I might have just lost a lot of my personal data. The story: I find out that one of my disks has faulted: "corrupted data". I have 8 drives and all 8 SATA ports are in use, so I have to swap it out. I have no idea which one it is, so some quick googling gives me the commands "iostat -En" and "cfgadm -al -s "select=type(disk),cols=ap_id:info"", neither of which give me the serial number for the drive that's faulted. I've narrowed it down to 2 drives based on the model number, and I think I've found it. I unplug it. "zpool status" doesn't show any more faults, great! (I think?) Now to replace it. I put the new drive in, but cfgadm doesn't see it. I run "pfexec reboot" thinking it just needs a reboot. Now it won't power down and I've lost SSH access. I do a hard reboot. Now I can't even get the machine to boot. It just hangs at the splash screen. The machine is sitting in the corner now, powered off. I'm afraid to turn it back on until I know exactly what to do to possibly recover my data.
My disk layout looks like this: 2 disks mirrored for my root pool (not booting) 2 disks mirrored 4 disks in raidz1 (the pool that's degraded, possibly toast) Should I detach all drives except the root pool, and try to get it booting first? -- This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ opensolaris-help mailing list opensolaris-help@opensolaris.org
